Chef's notes
Try using a Tajín salt rim for extra flavor.
Muddle in fresh jalapeño wedges for a spicy kick.
Use mezcal in place of tequila for a smoky flavor.
Add simple syrup or agave nectar to sweeten the cocktail.
Add ginger simple syrup or ginger beer for a ginger flavor.
The Aperol lowers the cocktail's ABV to around 22%.
